bread craze

Insane!

too hungry?

She couldn’t wait, so i gave in.

toast love

The most common food i had when i was staying in London was bread. It’s the most affordable for me then and of course i wasn’t much of a cook either. Also, i hated using the shared kitchen as it was always dirty and i HATE doing dishes. Anyway, besides instant noodle, i can cooked only a few simple dishes like: 

Chicken Rice (not the authentic kind)

Add marinated chicken and vegetable (chinese cabbage, carrot and button mushroom) with rice into the rice cooker and simmer together. That’s it, DONE! This has become my signature dish, and it’s OOOH-SO-YUMMY! i made this for my family years later and they love it. 

Vermicelli Soup 

Basically everything is the same as cooking chicken rice except to replace rice with vermicelli and add lots of water.

Spaghetti with Grilled Chicken Wings

Marinate and grill chicken wings for about 20mins. While waiting, boil spaghetti and heat some bottled ready-made sauce from supermarket, add some button mushroom, stir in the cooked spaghetti. And TADAH! Both will be done and ready to eat at around the same time.

Back to bread.

 

Raisin toast with butter.

i didn’t get tired of eating bread like most of my fellow asian friends. Instead, i grew to love it. i made all kinds of sandwiches for my meals:

The common ones

Ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce

The lazy ones

Peanut butter, strawberry jam, nutella, butter, canned soup

The fusion ones 

Luncheon meat, vegetarian pork floss with lettuce, bakkwa with lettuce. Sounds weird but they are really yummy.  

not sunny enough

Sunny side up on toast with lemon & ginger tea

something different

Some local snacks from Chinatown.

Cantonese glutinous rice dumpling, steamed carrot cake, almond paste dessert and a glass of ice cold green tea.

choice of

... peanut butter toast or steamed sweet corns. 

For me.

For everyone else.

Today, (besides eating) i’ve also updated my full set of stationery design, including the blog’s maskhead, to go with my new namecards.

just some buns

i had to take this photo really quick in order to spare my little niece the agony of waiting.

Yummy steamed buns and milk tea from Tiong Bahru Food Centre.

a bit of everything

i had three out of the six. Now, full and satisfied.

1. cherries  2. pear  3. kiwi  4. french toast  5. coffee  6. butter

healthy vs sinful

i had both because it’s impossible to resist either. Oooh so yummy!

Zespri Golden kiwi vs Minamoto Kitchoan chocolate mochi

Golden kiwi is still in season, so get them quick before it’s over! The next seasonal fruit to look forward to will be white cherries, i think it’s in August, very soon :-) 

the toddler who can’t wait

Using a fork has proved to be too time consuming, better to use hand.

Green bean with sweet potato soup

The perfect way to spend an afternoon is to just laze around and do nothing. So glad the meeting was cancelled. Woot!

Bright and happy :-D

Spicy snack wrap for mum, cheesecake for my niece, cheeseburger and milk tea for myself.
